Our Story
Welcome to Malvern Hills Yoga, I am Allison Maxwell the company founder and owner. I started the company in 2009 shortly after the birth of my second child. At 45 years old I decided that I would like to retire from my job in the NHS as a health promotion practitioner and enjoy my children! I started of with a couple of classes a week and now I offer eight regular classes, yoga workshops and one day yoga retreats . I am now ready to venture in to yoga holidays and will be securing a luxury and a budget venue for a yoga holiday suitable for everyone.
Although I have been classically trained and qualified with organisations such as the British Wheel of Yoga, Calm for Kids, Cambridge Active Birth and Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs. I have developed my own eclectic style, drawing from my thirty years experience of yoga practice and the past seventeen years of teaching yoga.
I wanted to offer a yoga classes that really was suitable for all, everyday yoga for everyday people, welcoming and fun. Over the past thirty years I have lived in several different places within the UK and this has allowed me to experience a wide range of yoga teachers . A teacher that had the greatest impact was a warm and funny teacher called Leita. She instantly made you laugh and relax as you entered the yoga room. My style of yoga at Malvern Hills Yoga follows a classic yoga sequence and includes pranayama (breathing practices) , asanas (postures) and always a deep relaxation but also a sprinkling of fun and laughter!
I have grown year on year and have now reached the maximum capacity of weekly yoga classes. I also offer yoga workshops on specfic themes, one day yoga escapes at a beautiful Ayurvedic Spa in Worcestershire and Yoga days at The Fold Eco centre in Worcestershire.
